Sage Tectonic didn't raise his head the whole time he gave his report. As a man who lived through the Ages he knew not to let power rise through his head.
Excellent. I sense the Saints, Sages, and Taboos gather their forces. Soon they will arrive here. The beginning of the end is near.
Tectonic bowed even more. These words could instill fear in any normal person but Tectonic had known this day would come. He had prepared accordingly. And even if he fell, he wouldn't regret it.
Schelp on the other hand didn't have the luxury of being carefree. He had a whole race to care for.
"My lord, can't we prevent the attack? Maybe if we seek the help of the Old One…"
You think I am inferior to Him?
"T-That's not what I meant…" Schelp trembled. A drop of sweat rolled along his spine. It had been centuries since he felt fear.
